The Legacy of Frankenstein continues.... In the countryside of middle England, a pair of monsters are hunted. In the woods around the village of Chaymouth, an inhuman figure lurks. In a London laboratory, a young scientist teases out the secrets of life itself And out of the past emerges a name forgotten by all but a few. Not dead, only waiting. PRETORIUS. Pretorius picks up directly after The Legacy of Frankenstein, following Henry, Peggy, Anne and the creature as a new horror enters their lives. While other books in the Universal Library series can be read in any order (although you will get more out of them by reading sequentially), Pretorius is very definitely a sequel and it is advised that you read The Legacy of Frankenstein first. The Universal Library is a series of novels inspired by classic horror films and their monsters.
